Excerpt from The History and Principles of Weaving by Hand and by Power The Art of Weaving forms the most extensive and im portant part of the Textile Manufactures, whether considered on account of its commercial value or for its usefulness, variety, or beauty of its products. It also calls forth a greater number of mechanical appliances and ingenious contrivances than any other Art, and is on that account alone always a source of interest to the Engineer and the Mechanician, as well as to the Manufacturer and the Weaver. Formerly the Art depended almost entirely upon the handicraft skill of the weaver, and his contrivances were limited in their combinations to produce designs of any considerable extent. They were, also, cumbersome and complicated, and entailed an amount of labour and patience that would much astonish the weaver of the present day. But, by the introduction of the Jacquard Machine and the Power Loom during the present century, the whole system of weaving, with some few exceptions, has been changed, and practically become a New Art. During the same period the Lace Frame has been in vented, and by the application of the Jacquard apparatus to it for the production of figured lace, it has created an entirely new and important branch of manufacture. The numerous inventions that have led to this result seem to have culminated in this admirable machine, which for ingenuity is unsurpassed in the whole range of mechanism. Yet the Loom with its products, wherein the wealth of our Nation is folded up, and upon which we are so de pendent for personal comfort, health, and cleanliness, is far behind other important Arts and Manufactures in respect to treatises upon its varied processes. The few works that have appeared are intended for technical readers, and are either confined to certain branches of the Art or limited in extent, and do not treat upon the subject generally. To supply this deficiency is the object of the present work, which is based upon and includes a series of Articles written for the Proprietors of Engineering.

From Paleolithic flax to 3D knitting, explore the global history of textiles and the world they weave together in this enthralling and educational guide. The story of humanity is the story of textiles -- as old as civilization itself. Since the first thread was spun, the need for textiles has driven technology, business, politics, and culture. In The Fabric of Civilization, Virginia Postrel synthesizes groundbreaking research from archaeology, economics, and science to reveal a surprising history. From Minoans exporting wool colored with precious purple dye to Egypt, to Romans arrayed in costly Chinese silk, the cloth trade paved the crossroads of the ancient world. Textiles funded the Renaissance and the Mughal Empire; they gave us banks and bookkeeping, Michelangelo's David and the Taj Mahal. The cloth business spread the alphabet and arithmetic, propelled chemical research, and taught people to think in binary code. Assiduously researched and deftly narrated, The Fabric of Civilization tells the story of the world's most influential commodity.

Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of the Art of Weaving by Hand and Power: With Calculations and Tables, for the Use of Those Connected With the Trade To acquire a competent knowledge of any Art it must be learned, either by reading, verbal teaching, observation and reflection, or actual practice; and as it is of the utmost importance to the apprentice in any branch of business to be told the theory of it, and shown how to use the tools connected with that particular branch, it must be of use to the apprentice or young beginner in the Weaving Trade also. Believing this, I have written this volume on the theory and practice of Weaving, and have through its pages given instructions how any one with ordinary capacity and perseverance may learn the theory of the Art.

First Published in 2005. The following study analyses several sequences of differentiation and a attempt to apply social theory to history. Such an analysis naturally calls for two components: (1) a segment of social theory; and (2) an empirical instance of change. For the first the author has selected a model of social change from a developing general theory of action; for the second, the British industrial revolution between 1770 and 1840. From this large revolution is the isolated the growth of the cotton industry and the transformation of the family structure of its working classes.
